Prevallet, Kristin.
"The Exquisite Extremes of Poetry (Watten and Baraka on the Brink)." "Watten cites several examples from the cultural, literary, and political history of the 1960s in order to establish what he calls the 'cultural poetics' that gave way to language poetry. Baraka had aggressively disagreed with Wattens contextualizing of the 1960s, and ultimately sought to set the record straight and assert his own conception of radical politics."
